Fang1028 There have been previous posts about people using sync tools between OneDrive and other storage. Quite simply, if that tool or any other service is constantly touching the OneDrive files then it's going to be constantly synchronizing. (Same with other cloud storage like DropBox, Google Drive etc).
You can find guidance on using specific tools by simply googling something like "mklink OneDrive" but your specific implementation is not going to be analysable by anyone here.
- Fang1028Jun 03, 2023Copper ContributorThanks for the reply, but I just use commands like mklink /d "C:\Users\User\OneDrive - Business\Wallpaper" "F:\Desktop Wallpaper" to synchronize other disk files
- Mike WilliamsJun 27, 2023Steel ContributorThat didn't tell me anything useful. You'll probably need someone at your computer or remotely connected to see what you're doing and what else is going on on your devices.
